Seeing C.J. Miles on the floor in agony holding his knee in pain, makes me sad.

I liked the way Alan Williams played in the first quarter

Len has really turned into a good passer. Wonder what he'd look like playing that high post?

Technical on Bledsoe for kicking the ball

Ulis is more of a PG than Bledsoe and Knight combined.

Alan Williams having a game!

 

[82CardsGrad]

Ulis is fun to watch! Crazy to see this game being won with Bled, Len, Booker, Chandler and Warren not playing... wow!

 

[devilalum]

Amazing what a team can do with a PG

Fun game to watch. They looked like they were having alot of fun in the fourth quarter

 

[Mainstreet]

What a good win by the Suns. Too bad I had company and couldn't watch it. Ugh.

It looks like the Suns bench really hammered the Pacers.

I particularly wished I could have watched Alan Williams go off with 15 points and 15 rebounds. This was totally unexpected on my part. I'd like to see more of this. Also it looks like Len did his part inside.

In a lot of ways Ulis reminds me of Ish Smith.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

After me screaming for Williams to get some playing time, im happy he's proving he deserved the opportunity. He has a great knack for knowing where the ball is coming off the rim. A natural rebounder with a soft scoring touch as a bonus.

Also Tyler Ulis might resemble a young Isaiah Thomas in the making. The same drama could unfold when the Suns had Dragic, Bledsoe and IT on their roster.

Watson finally gives Williams some time - about time, Geez. Did he think we didn't need more rebounding? And Ulis, too. Probably the two best players on the team at this point and EW didn't notice.

Tyson Chandler was leading the league in defensive rebounding %.

The only thing Ulis really has in common with IT is his small stature. He's a true pass first point guard and not the scorer that IT is or was. I'd say he's probably the best playmaking point guard the team has had in years, even with the revolving door of backup PG's and combo guards masquerading as PG's since Nash left.

IT is not a bad play-maker averaging 6 assists per game the past two seasons. If Ulis were called upon to score, I think he could do that. Ulis is a play-maker first but if his game were expanded, he might resemble IT in many ways. They just come at it in different directions. I really like how Ulis gets after it on defense. He had four steals last night.

Got to be the ugliest uniforms I've seen in a long time. I mean Cavs ugly.

Hurts to see Tucker and Dudley get off the bench before Bender. Who will be part of the second unit you say? Forgot to say when? Next year? Come on cumbaya, don't be a chicken.

 

[leclerc]

Prior to this game Bender has been playing well. Any normal coach would reward the kid with more or the same minutes in several following games. However not in Phoenix. Here they all of a sudden sit for three games in a row. It's beyond stupid. They know nothing about developing youngsters. Sigh!
